The State Of Women's Enterprise In The UK

This report is an overview of the state of women’s enterprise
across the UK, updating data and statistics previously published
by Prowess in 2005. Its key messages are that to fuel economic
growth in the UK, more must be done to encourage female
entrepreneurship and, importantly, that existing women-led
businesses need more appropriate assistance towards greater
long-term sustainability. It argues that although much has
been achieved over the last four years to support female
entrepreneurs at a national and at a regional level, female
entrepreneurship remains resolutely low at just under half
of male entrepreneurial activity and this represents a real
challenge for all those engaged in raising the profile of women’s
enterprise in the UK.

The report includes an analysis of the attitudinal and
perceptional drivers of entrepreneurship at a regional level.
